Of course not. But if that quote [1] had any substance in it, it COULD |

happen that some deamon running as user "root" failed because of "root" |
| 11 |
not being in the correct groups. |

So neither your own id nor "root" is a member of group "audio" and audio |
| 21 |
is working nevertheless. Hum, that just triggers the next question to |

all Gentooers: What the heck is group "audio" good for? |
